About the Operations

The Surgery and Orthopedics department at Kungälv Hospital includes two wards, an outpatient clinic, a day care unit, and a gynecological clinic.

We have about 230 employees. The department handles both acute and planned patients in outpatient and inpatient care within surgery, urology, and orthopedics. A significant part of the operations is of an acute nature, but some of the work also involves caring for patients in the end stages of life.

We offer a fun, stimulating, responsible, and exciting job where you have the opportunity to develop your skills together with new colleagues. If you have preferences or experience from any specific area, please indicate that in your application, and we will try to accommodate your wishes, but primarily the needs of the operations will determine where you are placed. To help you quickly get into the work, you will receive a tailored introduction based on your experience and skills.
